Am I nuts???
I was hesitant to post this, but you guys really helped me a lot with all of my other questions about making my bike run cooler so here goes.
I took my fairing lowers off to help the bike run cooler, which has made a huge difference. I'll probably put them back on soon now that you folks have told me how to cut the doors to get a lot more air while their on. But it also seems like my bike feels a lot lighter or maybe a better way of saying it is, more maneuverable without them. Particularly when making sharp turns at slow speeds. Since I can't explain why that would be the case, I'm thinking I may just be imagining it because its not like lowers weigh a ton or anything. But could that be right? Then I started thinking maybe that's why I never see Police bikes with fairing lowers? Scratching my head.

After having a Road Glide I guess I can understand the sharp turns at slow speeds thing although mine did not have lowers. I do have soft lowers I have used on my Road King a couple times and it is suggested not to use them above 50 degrees. May be some sense to that after all so may attribute to the bike running cooler.

Haha, okay. I marked them already and I'm borrowing a Dremel tomorrow to make the cuts.
